Marvel's Spider-Man Getting Something Fantastic Four Related 'Soon'

Could something bombastic be coming to Spidey's PS4 adventure?

By Jonathon Dornbush

During Marvel's Fantastic Four Week kickoff livestream, the comics publisher teased something releated to Marvel's First Family is coming to Marvel's Spider-Man on PS4.

Speaking on the livestream, Marvel's Ryan Penagos said "Something 'fantastic' is coming to Marvel's Spider-Man real soon. I can't tell you anything more right now...but you'll want to keep an eye out for this. It's going to be amazing and fantastic."

Penagos did not elaborate further on the stream, which also highlighted Fantastic Four appearances in other Marvel games.

Spider-Man developer Insomniac Games has only retweeted Marvel's tweet with the "eyes emoji."

So, with that idea in mind, we consulted IGN's Senior Comics Editor Joshua Yehl for his best guesses. He believes the most likely suit candidates are the infamous Bombastic Bagman suit, which Joshua or the black-and-white Future Foundation suit. His reasoning is:

"Spider-Man has a long history with the Fantastic Four and even served as a member on more than one occasion. If Spidey is going to get a "fantastic" new suit, then one option is the infamous Bombastic Bagman costume. After Spider-Man had his black symbiote suit removed by Reed Richards so it could be analyzed, he was given a spare Fantastic Four costume to wear on the web-swing home, but because the Fantastic Four members don't wear masks, he had to put a paper bag over his head to hide his secret identity. The other most apparent option would be his black-and-white Future Foundation suit, which he donned after the death of his best friend Johnny Storm aka the Human Torch and joined the team in his honor."
